I’ve seen the quotes, but I also watched the floor debate. They don’t line up. The court won’t look at three lines on a Twitter post without allowing the other party to submit, or considering, context.
For example, Tate was questioned whether m the house floor about his use of the term “hornets nest” and “poke the bear”, and he claims he meant that the Disney actions had caused the legislature and other bodies to review the IDs as a whole by drawing attention to them. To “audit”, if you will.
Now, devils advocate hat off for a moment, we all KNOW what this is. I’m not trying to twist it otherwise.
But, that doesn’t necessarily make it illegal or mean a court will find it so.
